The 1975 Cover Ariana Grande’s ‘thank u, next’ and It’s a Must-Hear

It looks like we can add The 1975 to the ever-growing list of Arianators. The Brit band recently stopped by BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, where they performed a number of songs off their upcoming album, A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships, which comes out on Friday (November 30). For their cover, the alt-pop-rockers decided to tackle Ariana Grande's recent No.1 single "thank u, next."

Before diving into the song, Matty Healy dedicated the performance to Ari. "I'll just start singing it, but I want to dedicate it to the artist of the song who's become, I think, the main protagonist...in most people's lives, the person I see spoken about the most, and someone I've started to really care about, for some reason" he confessed.

“She’s had a right old tough time and I like her, a lot. I think she's cool,” Healy continued. “And she’s got a great voice. And I don’t. So I’m gonna sing one of her songs.”

Backed by an ensemble of soulful backup singers, The 1975 made the song their own by giving it a jazzy, gospel feel.

The pop star showed her love for the song by retweeting it and replying with a black heart emoji.

"We (and I mean society as a whole) f--king love you," Healy responded, which prompted the 26-year-old to repay the sentiment. Check out the exchange below.
